I am sure you are aware that by 2010 ALL OFFICIALS that work Oregon State Activities Association sponsored athletic events will be required to be ASEP certified.
The requirement, which starts a three year phase-in starting in 2007, is tied to any game fee increases being granted by the inter-league council.
First year officials in all sports will be the first to be required to pass both a methods class and a princples class. New officials will be hit with yet another "start-up" cost as the testing is $75.
The OAOA is attempting to find ways to assist in payment for new officials. All varsity officials in all sports will be "grandfathered" past the methods class but will be required to pass the principles section.

This, as was explained at our recent meeting, is not quite accurate. All officials (not just all varsity officials) will be grandfathered past the methods class. The state rep made that point crystal clear. He said "Everyone" in this room will be grandfathered in.
Regarding the principles class, it is only required if you wish to be eligible for tournament games. If you don't take it, can still work any regular season game.
